Abstraction and Geometry in Brooklyn

I don't get into the other boroughs too often, but today I spent the afternoon in Williamsburg with my friend, Jackie Battenfield, a new Brooklynite. We hit the neighborhood galleries on Bedford, Driggs and Metropolitan Avenues. The Thornton Willis solo at Sideshow was the highlight of my gallerygoing day, followed by a presumably unintended abstraction on Hope Street. Here are pics of both:

Coming up in the next few days: skulls and bones on view in a number of galleries in Chelsea
